Academic Exchange at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France (Ms YAN Chenji, Year 3, Integrated BBA)
During the academic year 2017–18, I studied at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (also known as Paris 1) as an exchange student. It is a highly reputable French public research university established in 1971—in the wake of the volatile period of civil unrest in France in May 1968. The university has its headquarters at the Place du Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, on the left bank of the Seine, in the 5th and the 6th arrondissements of Paris. The campus retains its historic appearance, with a rich sense of cultural atmosphere. |
